UK digital TV platform. Freeview, has launched a TV guide app for the iPad.
It's had an iPhone app for some time and it's now also released apps for Android smartphones and tablets.
One nice feature is that the guide, which is free, is actually downloaded to your device, so you don't need a data connection to view it until it gets out-of-date.
Update: I've used this app for a bit down and it's not good. It takes ages to populate and the font is so small as to be unreadable - well, for me anyway. I'm sticking with TV Guide.
Hit the jump for full features:
Full TV Guide
Now you get a full grid view of the TV guide so you can explore an interactive timeline of Freeview HD and all the other Freeview channels with added HD highlights

Now you can save your favourites,. The more you interact with the app the more we’ll learn what you like, and the better the recommendations will be.

The app can produce a personalised list of recommendations for you, if you’re stuck for ideas for what to watch. You’re only one touch away from a list of new shows to try based on your favourites

Once you’ve found a show you love, the app makes it easy to share it with your friends through Facebook, Twitter or email.
Never miss an episode
Never miss your favourite shows again – sync your calendar with the app for a friendly reminder.
Freeview on the go
Once you’ve viewed the listings on the interactive timeline, they’re downloaded to your phone or iPad. This means you can plan your viewing even if you don’t have a signal.
